I have Windows XP, installed by a dealer. I want to know if there is a blocking function, so I can prevent other members of the family to use my computer.
Windows XP has a "lock" function that a lay person can figure out?
Assuming that you have a password on your user account.
To lock the computer, press and hold the 'Windows' key on the keyboard while pressing 'L '.

Hi, I have Windows 7 on my laptop dv6408nr and wanted to know what is the correct BIOS
Is there a download for the newest BIOS for Windows 7?
Thank you

Hi Mike,.
If everything works Ok, then I'd not concerned - I has machines with their level of original bios running Windows 7.
There is not bios available for your laptop running Windows 7 - definitely not trying to Flash the bios with an installer designed to another version of Windows as it can "brick" the machine.
Kind regards

MacBook Air (13 inch, early 2015)
10.10.5 Yosemite
Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3\
Intel HD Graphics 6000 1536 MB
We have a macbook air family. I have set up on the purchase and created accounts for family members, but if the unit is turned off, they are all unable to access the boot until I connect and select their code. If I do this, what they see on the splash screen is my ID. Of course, I do not share my password with anyone, so it becomes a problem when I'm out of the House. Please can you help me?
Do you have system preferences > users and groups > Login Options set up like that? You should.

I have windows xp installed on my computer. I plugged in my speakers logitech box and I know the speakers work as I went down my dad's computer and they were going when he had it. I don't know much about computers and I can't really afford to pay someone to look for me. I think there may be something wrong with my sound card, but as I said I don't know much about computers
If the PC has moved when it was given to you, make sure that the speakers are plugged into the correct audio device decision-making. IIRC it's the green plug. If they are USB, plug it into another USB port.
Re-post if it isn't that, giving also make, name and model n ° of your PC/computer laptop and similar details for your Logitech speakers. Also right click on my computer > properties > hardware > Device Manager > all yellow exclamation then your audio device? Any reference to an audio device (Realtek, Soundmax...?
See you soon,.

I have recived portable computer of the Government with windows pre installed 7professional but now I want to format and reinstal it I require the startup disk and product key (my OS is authentic)
If it's a copy of volume license installed, you will need to contact your employer to find the product key and get the installation files.
If it is preinstalled at the factory with Windows 7 Professional, then use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7.
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

If Windows 7 is pre-installed on laptop, Mike instructions don't you will lose Windows 7. If you bought Windows 7 separately and allows you to format the computer, which also does not let you lose thel travel when you format the drive from your installation disc.

We have Windows XP Media addition ' 05 and we want to buy and IPod and download music. Is our computer compatiable with the classis IPod and IPod Nano? Also, what addition Itunes can we use?
If you can install and run iTunes correctly, then I'm sure that sync with an iPod will work as well.
What do you mean exactly with "add to iTunes"?
